The Duel2 Gods must be smiling down upon the Warmasters lately. 2 turns in a row where my mailman has delivered an early surprise!! Nothing better than that! Well, almost nothing better, except maybe opening the turn results and finding the stable went 5-0!!

To add to my joy, my new RU came back nicely blessed, making that the third RU in a row! I haven't had this much luck with new warriors in as long as I can remember.

I must admit I am very excited about my current squad, but kind of disappointed to see our arena has dropped down to a mere 18 teams. Couple that with some very quiet personal ads (with the exception of Pagan) and we have some room for improvement here in Shadowspire. I suspect the FtF tourney this weekend maybe the cause of some of this, but who knows. I dream of returning to the glory days of Shadowspire housing 40+ teams. Maybe it will never happen again, but right now I'd be happy to see 25 again. On that note, welcome to Shadowspire De'Ja Krew! I am always excited to see new teams join us. Hopefully your time here will be as enjoyable for you as it has been for many of us!

A 2-2 for the Cult. When my guys lose they always drop serious rec points, WTF is the deal? My new guy didn't roll as nice as i'd hoped, and his damage roll is not great. I'll give him 5 fights to see what he can do. Highlight has t be Mord challenging Gnometradamus and in the end Gnome scumming his scum!

I am hoping to get mine today and I'm hoping to write a DM column and some ads for next turn.

I think I still owe a few people, namely Nomad and Mord, an SYP issue to commemorate their recent accomplishments.

After transferring from Columbia to Charleston almost 3 months ago, my employer has now decided to close this location. So as of today I am out of a job and not sure if I will be able to keep playing.

That is extremely bad news and I am very sorry to hear that Chris! Nice of your employer to move you only to have you lose your job 3 months later. That is pretty shitty. I hope you are able to find new employment quickly. Good luck my friend.

That is an absolute bummer Chris! I'm sorry to hear this news. I hope you find something quick.

No where near as devastating as Chris's news, but I'll be missing this turn and perhaps many more.

My mail did okay for a few weeks and is back to it normal, horrible self. Apart from AD where I park warriors on single trains forever and don't care about W/L, I have a hard time enjoy fast Basic arenas without them coming in a timely manner so I can plot, challenge/avoid, know skills/trains, etc. I know there are other ways to play it as some of our Canadian and European friends do, but I just don't enjoy playing the game in such a manner.

Very sorry to hear about that Chris. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Hope you land on your feet.

While I hate to hear this Darque, you could simply play 81 like a slow arena and simply play every other turn. That way you have all your trains and info before sending in the next turn. Just a thought. I hope the mail situation turns around for you!

Well, this is certainly bad news for the arena. Hopefully things will turn around for the both of you!
